Trouble with youtube on a mac

musicismylife78

so i have a macbook and youtube has worked fine on it for a year and a half or so. anyways, just recently maybe within the last few weeks, if i go to youtube, and try to watch a video i have trouble. the video itself plays fine, but if i scroll down to the comments, the page usually freezes. oddly the music, or the video continues to play. it doesnt allow me to scroll up or down, it doesnt allow me to go back. i dont get it. its almost like, if i click on a video and just leave it alone, it works fine, but if i look at comments, or scroll down at all, it freezes. and its not like a computer wide problem. my computer is working fine in all other areas. I have heard that safari/mac users have trouble with youtube, but what doesnt make sense is why i was able to use youtube fine, and not have this happen for a year and a half.

anyone have any suggestions? Whats going on?

I use an eMac at work and pretty much the same thing started happening to me with youtube as well as several other sites. Wasn't much of a facebooker anyway, but I can't go to it anymore without my browser shutting down altogether

What version OS are you using?.. I haven't had problems with 10.5 or 10.6.. maybe try updating Safari?

I think my mom had troubles with 10.3. She just downloaded Firefox instead.

Try running your software update. An updated OS is a happy OS...
